After free electricity, Akhilesh promises laptops to students

LUCKNOW, Jan 8:
Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said if his party is voted to power in Uttar Pradesh, laptops will be distributed among the youth and students in the state.
This comes days after Yadav promised 300 units of free electricity to households if his party won the assembly elections.
The SP chief also took strong objection to the BJP media cell posting his picture on social media with the claim that the Kanpur perfume trader who was recently raided by the income tax department was present alongside Yadav during a tour of France.
Yadav said the legal cell of his party will lodge an FIR against the BJP IT cell in-charge for indulging in “false propaganda”.
“The party has already promised 300 units and free electricity for irrigation purposes. The party resolves to provide best quality laptops to the youth and students on coming to power,” Yadav told news persons here. “We had distributed lakhs of laptops last time, and the recipients are still benefiting from them in moving ahead and making arrangements for their employment,” he said.
